HAVING passed through the Eighth Division of the Tuat, the boat of the sun arrives at the gateway called AAT-SHEFSHEFT, which leads to the NINTH DIVISION, or, as the opening text reads: "This great god cometh to this gate, and entereth through it, and the gods who are therein acclaim this great god." The gateway is like that through which the god passed into the previous Division, and its outwork is guarded by nine gods in the form of mummies, who are described as the PAUT, i.e., the company of the nine gods. At the entrance to the gate proper stands a bearded, mummied form, with his hands folded on his breast, called ANHEFTA, and at its exit stands a similar formcalled ERMEN-TA, each of these is said to extend his arms and hands to Ra. The corridor is swept by flames of fire, which proceed from the mouths of two uraei, as before.In the middle of the Division we see the boat of Ra being towed on its way by four gods of the Tuat; the god is in the same form as before,and SA stands on the look-out, and HEKA obeys his instructions as to steering. The procession which marches in front of the boat consists of:-- 1. Six bearded male figures, standing upright, who hold in their hands the ends of a rod, or rope, which is bent in the shape of a bow over their heads; these are described as "those who are over the words of magical power."2. Four dog-headed apes, which hold a rod bent as already described; these are described as "those who work magic by means of knots for Ra." Four women, who stand upright, and hold a bentrod, or rope, over their heads like the four apes and the six male figures; they are described as "those who work magic by means of knots for Ra." E.A.W BUDGE THE BOOK OF JUDGES THE BIBLE VERSION [11] And he said unto her, If they bind me fast with new ropes that never were occupied, then shall I be weak, and be as another man. [12] Delilah therefore took new ropes, and bound him therewith, and said unto him, The Philistines be upon thee, Samson. And there were liers in wait abiding in the chamber. And he brake them from off his arms like a thread. JUDGES 16:11 DRAWING CREDITS: E.A.W. BUDGE FOR PICTORIALS ON THE TOMB OF SETI 1 THE AUTHOR ANDREW FREW READS FROM HIS BOOK THE HALL OF RECORDS.
